Marketing specialist Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best service" September 15, 2023 5.0 It saves me a lot of time when planning and publishing content on multiple platforms simultaneously. The analyzes it provides are very valuable to optimize my strategies. I highly recommend it for any business or brand that wants to improve its presence on social networks. Although the free version has certain limitations, the functions it offers are very complete. It was worth investing in a premium subscription to unlock advanced capabilities Pros I really like the easy-to-use interface and rich features that Hootsuite offers. It allows me to manage several social networks from a single platform and schedule content in advance. I also like the variety of analytics and metrics it provides to measure the performance of my posts. The integration with other tools and apps is very useful Cons What I like least is that some more advanced features are only available in paid plans.

Admin Virtual Assistant E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hootsuite, the Best Social Media Management Tool" January 1, 2024 5.0 This is a wonderful tool that has made my social media workflow a breeze, I can create content, plan and schedule even a month's worth of content and this makes my work easy. Pros I like the easy-to-use interface. It's user-friendly and everyone can be able to use it. Cons Everything is amazing about Hootsuite, no complaints. I highly recommend the software to all social media users. Review Source Colleen W. Marketing Associate Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hootsuite is the top software for handling many social media accounts." September 16, 2023 5.0 In overall, it's the best tool to use if you need to manage many social media accounts at once, particularly on Twitter and Facebook. Pros Hootsuite is simple to operate; I really like that all the platforms I use can be shown on a single page, and the publisher screen makes it simple to see at a glance precisely what you're posting on each day across all of your accounts. You can just drag and drop to rearrange your articles, and adding images is just as simple. It couldn't be much better. Cons I can't think of a single drawback to this system. Very user-friendly, it rarely experiences outages. You may relax knowing that the program will automatically publish your posts once you've entered them. In two years of use, I have never once seen a bug in this program. Switched from [Sprout Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/121447/Sprout-Social/)[Semrush](https://www.capterra.com/p/151962/SEMrush/) because Hootsuite is a fantastic app to use for making and scheduling social network postings. The calendar function aids my organization and provides a bird's-eye perspective of the activity across all my primary social media platforms. Review Source Dylan C. Administrative Assistant Publishing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Social media marketing on auto-pilot" December 28, 2023 5.0 While I had it, Hootsuite was a great piece of software that allowed me to easily manage a much larger online presence than I ever could have without it. But their best features were locked behind a paywall, and their new pricing model has completely locked us out of ever doing business with them. Pros Hootsuite made it incredibly easy for a marketing team of one to manage a small army of sub-brands for our agency and maintain a constant online presence. Their analytics and scheduling recommendations allowed us to target our posts at the times that were most impactful for our demographic and our engagement went up as a result. Cons Hootsuite used to have a free tier, but now all of their tiers are eye-wateringly expensive and they have completely priced out our small business from ever using them. Review Source Gilmer S. Marketing Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I highly recommend" September 18, 2023 5.0 It managed to be one step ahead in my social media strategy by allowing me to easily manage and publish content on multiple social networks from a single interface. The statistical reports are also very complete. However, I missed some features exclusive to the paid version. In summary, for those who are just starting out and mainly use a network, the free version is functional, but to get the most out of it, I recommend having one of the plans that include more advanced tools. Pros I mainly liked the way Hootsuite makes it easy to publish content to multiple social networks on a schedule and in one place. The interface is very intuitive and allows you to create an easy-to-manage content strategy. With their calendars I can plan posts in advance, assign hashtags, and mention users. I also found the dashboard useful, which allows you to see the activity and engagement on each platform, as well as the statistical reports on reach and interaction. It is undoubtedly a great tool for those who must manage several profiles and do not want to constantly publish manually Cons What I liked least is that some features such as message alerts are only available on the paid plan. While I understand that it is a way for the company to earn income, for those just starting out with a small budget, those alerts could be useful. Another detail is that the programming does not allow as much flexibility when adjusting publication times when necessary. In general I feel that the free plan is somewhat limited and to get the most out of it it would be better to have the premium versions Review Source IS Isabella S. software engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "my 2 years experience with Hootsuite" January 3, 2024 5.0 I have used it for 2 years, mostly to post on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, the sales usually go up when I use it, Its pretty easy to use. Could be a little better but it gets the job done very well, and overall, it was very beneficial to me Pros it helps me build out quality content, also helps me engage with my audiences, it helps me with planning, scheduling, and syndicating social media posts across multiple networks from one place, it is in my opinion the best solution for social media managers Cons that it only supports few networks, and its not cost-effective, i think its not the most competitively priced platform in the market Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Consultante en communication Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Une plateforme historique" March 1, 2023 5.0 Pros Le nombre de fonctionnalités, le calendrier qui permet de voir facilement où en est la programmation des posts pour l'ensemble des médias sociaux concernés. Cons Le menu peu intuitif, la gestion des comptes, messages et commentaires depuis la plateformes pourrait être plus visuellement plus fluide.Dommage aussi qu'on ne puisse pas prévisualiser un feed Instagram Reason for choosing Hootsuite Pour la diversité des fonctionnalités Review Source VR Verified Reviewer owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Social media will always be up to date" October 17, 2023 5.0 As long as I use hootsuite wherever I am, my busyness and lack of time for social media maintenance is greatly helped, I am used to scheduling my content for social media platforms, then I can also pull reporting on my customer engagement on my posts, which ones are more interested in my posts, the time when many followers like my posts and I can also multi-manage accounts with the team, so that I as an administrator can do other work but I can also do other work.

This can help you create a solid social media strategy, such as placing the right time at a certain hour so that followers will always pay attention to the content. Simply choose a time that works for your marketing needs. Cons Engagement tracking I need to explore and learn more to analyze the extent of my brand's engagement with customers. But, Hootsuite always provides clear and accurate reporting with the conditions in the field. Reason for choosing Hootsuite Easy to use, my social media is also easy to integrate, easy to set posting schedules (date, time, day) and captions, easy to pull reporting from the content I upload, and can analyze the development of customer approaches through the content I upload on social media. Review Source Terry E. Digital Strategy Marketing Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hootsuite is my must-have tool for managing my social networks." August 8, 2023 5.0 Hootsuite, in overall, provides more opportunities to learn new things, especially when it comes to attempting to get insight into the crisis situation that most businesses find themselves in. Thanks to this method, we can now get our message to the right individuals at the right time. Pros I take great pleasure in being able to plan out and fine-tune customers' social media campaigns and provide them with raw data when they need it. Hootsuite, in my opinion, provides superior information and connectability with its publics in contrast to other brands. Cons The expense of the Learning Academy irritates me much, especially in light of the fact that both Google and Amazon provide equivalent services for free. I think the academy might use some updating, especially for interns who are trying to get into the workforce.

Finance and Administration Officer Investment Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use and reliable social media tool" August 2, 2024 5.0 I use the solution to auto post on social media tools once Pros Connecting social media handles in this tool is straightforward and does not require technical hands on Cons The pricing of the software is too expensive for smaller businesses to use the solution Review Source LR Leonardo R. Social Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It has worked great for us so far. Very useful and not too much to worry about. " February 26, 2023 4.0 Overall I'd say my experience has been positive. I'd give it a 7/10. It gets the job done and is fairly simple to use. As I said before, it is a bit expensive, so other options might come in the future but, so far, it has done very good things for us. Pros Their analytics are the best part for me. It is something I constantly use and is very useful, really helps me to do my job. Hootsuite also makes it simple to use so I can be more productive and effective. Cons It is a bit expensive, specially for teams. And the dashboard is sort of out of date. Review Source AS Aria S. Design Consultant Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Automating Life in Very Easy Way" February 24, 2022 5.0 I was too busy in planning and sorting my media publishing content before I know there's an automatic tool like Hootsuite. And once I knew it, I can say that I can't leave my desk without setting it up, at least for my whole week of social media publishing. It worth the price and effectivity. Pros The automation tool is something that really helpful, including automatic captioning and tagging. Cons There's none at the moment of using this tool Review Source Antoine W. SBDM Wastewater Treatment Environmental Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A perfect tool! But quite pricey." May 19, 2022 5.0 Productwise a pleasure! It works and delivers on the promise. I compared it, and honestly, Hootsuite is the best of all the ones I've tried. It just has a price tag that goes along with its quality. Pros Almost everything: it integrates smoothly with platforms, it is easy to use, visually well done and the UI/UX is pleasant. You really get an enjoyable and reliable service! Cons The only con for me was Hootsuite's price. For my use, it was quite expensive per social post, which at some point decided me to switch off to an alternative (which I ended up regretting for different reasons). I get that the price is the reason why it's so good, but maybe an entry level plan with less features could be an interesting in-between solution. Alternatives considered [Agorapulse](https://www.capterra.com/p/123971/Agorapulse/)[CoSchedule Marketing Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/158290/CoSchedule/) Reason for choosing Hootsuite I liked the interface, and of all these expensive alternatives, it was the most affordable (even if still, expensive for a "simple" user like me) Switched from [Later Social](https://www.capterra.com/p/152254/Later/) Hootsuite was simply better! Review Source KU Kyra U. Marketing and Brand Coordinator Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Hootsuite - Saving Time by Scheduling Content" August 30, 2022 5.0 Pros What I like most about Hootsuite is the ability to schedule all content months in advance to be published on multiple different platforms at a specific time. I also love the feature that Hootsuite offers of showing you the best time to post on each specific day to increase the chances of higher engagement/visibility. I also love that you can edit the text for each specific social media platform to best fit the text and hashtag maximum requirements for each. Lastly, I really enjoy the feature of displaying how the content and text will look on each specific social media platform to give you an idea of how it will look once it's published. All in all, Hootsuite saves me so much time and stress by scheduling all content once a month to be automatically posted when scheduled. Cons The one con I have with Hootsuite is that you can't include Pinterest in the typical place to schedule content, rather it's a separate area which is a little inconvenient. In this case, I'd rather post to Pinterest manually myself. Review Source CF Craig F. Marketing and PR Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This Great Product Makes Life Easier" December 21, 2023 4.0 I really enjoy Hootsuite. Inserting a video/image and then writing some content for whichever accounts you select, and it's done! No more getting up on Christmas morning and logging into my laptop to post Merry Christmas. It just happens on its own! Pros I love the fact that I can add my social media platforms to the system and pick and choose which ones I want to use for a posting. Then I can schedule things for months easily! I wish it was cheaper, but it is comparable to other services that are out there. I would highly recommend it! Cons One thing that aggravates me is that my Instagram account seems to become disconnected on a regular basis. Just IG, none of the others. It's easy to fix, but just an unnecessary hiccup.

I was looking for something that was less expensive but they were all about the same. I went with what I knew. Review Source Shaheer M. Technical Writer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's Easy and Good" June 1, 2022 4.0 As the number of social media users grows, Hootsuite has become an indispensable part of business operations. It integrates with tens of social networks and has a 30-day free trial. It is easy to use and affordable. With millions of users, it's easy to see why Hootsuite has millions of users. It's no wonder, then, that it's the number one social media management tool for small businesses. Pros Hootsuite is a social media management tool with millions of users. It has the advantage of allowing you to view up to five social networks simultaneously, and its easy to use interface lets you easily flick between different social media profiles, campaigns, and customers. However, it does have some limitations. Cons Though its scheduling capabilities are basic, it does have some useful features. Like its ability to monitor key terms and hashtags, Hootsuite helps you grow your social media presence. Some features are limited, like the inability to bulk-schedule via import. If you're looking for a more advanced solution for your social media marketing strategy, Hootsuite may not be right for you. Alternatives considered [Buffer](https://www.capterra.com/p/143492/Buffer/) Reason for choosing Hootsuite If you're on the go, a social media management app such as Hootsuite can be an invaluable tool. This program can centralize your social media profiles and messages so you can manage them all in one place. You can reply to messages, see analytics, and collaborate with team members without leaving the app. Hootsuite also lets you view multiple social networks at once and schedule posts to each. Review Source JM Jhonjerlyn M. CEO Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A bold system that helps you and traffic to your social networks in a matter of minutes." August 1, 2022 5.0 It is a platform that is complete with respect to the functionalities that it offers, I'm happy with the general functionality that this platform has represented during all this time, we have been using it for more than a year and the results have been innovative, all our social networks have remained quite revelant activity day in day out, as well as added quite a bit of interaction with customers. We would love for this platform to implement an anti-spam system, which can block any irregular activity in our messages from the inbox of our social networks, this would help a lot today. And within this platform, only the rates must be improved, the inbox system must also be improved so that it is more beneficial and can have a greater order in the messages received. The general features of this platform help social networks remain active, you can interact with customers through comments, and reactions, as well as you can see how many times your customers share the publication. Pros Hootsuite is a fairly system to manage all kinds of social networks, its wide availability and the few limits ti has help social networks to be managed in a concrete way, as well as monitoring and managing the traffic in each of them. What I like the most about this platform is that it offers me real-time analysis and visualization of the activity of all the platforms, I can visualize the activity of Facebook or Instagram accounts from this platform in real time, visualize comments, reactions or interactions of the customers with other publications, all in real time. Another thing that I like is that this platform allows me to create scheduled publications, I can create a publication and select where the publication will be sent, I can select several social networks at the same time so that this publication is uploaded at an exact time in all the social networks that I selected, program publications has improved the activity of our social networks in scale, because it has maintained activity in an automated way, without the need to do anything manually. Cons One of the negative things about this platform is that it is a bit complicated to manage messages received within it, when we link all the social networks that we use in this company, all the messages received are stored in the same tray input, this causes all the received messages to be combined and it turns out to be a bit difficult to read each one of them and know which social network it comes from, I would like the inbox to be much more organized, dividing each one of the messages received in each social network, this would help us to have an incredible order in the messages received and to be able to attend to each of them little by little. Another negative thing is that this platform should offer much more affordable prices, currently I only recommend using this platform in large companies that can cover the high costs it has.

This has been a game-changer for me and has saved me so much time. What I love the most about Hootsuite is the consistency with which I can run my day-to-day marketing campaigns. Pros I have nothing but good things to say about Hootsuite! After my social media team grew in size, we were having some trouble keeping up. With Hootsuite, we were able to bring our social media presence up to speed and answer inquiries much more quickly and efficiently. All of the features are so easy to use, and the integration with our existing business Cons Hootsuite is a robust social media management tool that offers a lot of features that can help you keep up with your company's social media presence.
